I have a few options.
One: Work for the temp agency
Two: Go on disability and SSI
Three: Enroll in the local beauty school
I really don't know what to do. I have a track record since 18 of never spending more than a couple months at a job, the longest was two different jobs for six months. One was Walmart and I was so overwhelmed I developed stress-induced bulimia so I could get out of work. The second was at the Hilton and my bipolar symptoms made work so difficult they fired me.
I got on with the temp agency but haven't worked yet. Not sure I can handle learning a new job over and over and over again every two weeks or two months.
I'm worried about disability because my grandparents don't approve it. They told me living off the government is wrong and if I go on disability I'll dig myself into a hole I'll never get out of. But I really can't handle working, my symptoms get in the way, and my parents want me on disability to focus on my career as a writer. Plus, I get to do whatever the hell I want, it's a fixed income, and I'll be making more on disability than I would be working at the Hilton.
Then there's the beauty school. I get to dress however I want, I feel like I'd fit in, it's a career that will always be needed, and the goal is to help me succeed so I can find a real career to live off of. Downside is that tuition is $22k and I'd probably have to be on SSI or PT work to afford living while I'm in school.
So what the heck do I do? Feel free to give advice or ask questions that need clarifying.
I'm so stumped. No idea what to do with my life.
